Chapter 15: Entering the Twenty-Third Floor (3)
The beauty is gone, and the young man still has a heart, so far he knows what it means to cherish.
The crossbowman fell asleep groggy, maybe he was tired, maybe he wanted to leave this world for a short time, to escape, to find another warmth.
He had a long, long dream, and it was an endless darkness, with no end and no beginning, just like the story he had with his sister had ended before it began, but he didn't want this dream to wake up, because there was still that kind of integrity here, and he wanted that kind of integrity.
Suddenly, the wholeness was broken by something, he opened his eyes, and found that there was a halo of light floating out of front of him, it was the thing in his arms that he was still holding the posture emanated, he reached out and put the thing in the palm of his hand, the halo disappeared in an instant, revealing a strange necklace, the necklace was a black rope tied to a crescent-shaped red lump, I don't know what it was, but it exuded a familiar smell, he stared blankly, felt the breath, and came back to his senses for a long time.
He hung the necklace on his chest, and there was a warm current that instantly crept all over his body, making him feel energetic. He seemed to understand that this should be the only thought that his senior sister left him.
He clasped his hands on his chest and looked at the vast clouds on the branch, and the loneliness he had felt before seemed to dissipate a lot.
I don't know the danger of the road ahead, but at this moment he is very resolute.
Continuing along the path, he soon saw the shadows of several stone benches on the platform in the distance, and without thinking, he knew that the last layer of the thatched hut was close at hand, and after taking a deep breath, he walked towards the stone bench.
He knows that although he is not far from success, whether there will be any new changes, these are still unknown to him, so he can only be more cautious.
Walking around the stone bench, fortunately, nothing changed, breathed a sigh of relief, he began to observe the surroundings, there were still thick clouds and mist all around, but only the shadow of the thatched house was not seen, the sense of crisis came, he suddenly realized, only to see that the stone bench was rotating around him at an invisible speed to the naked eye, forming a thick stone wall, no matter what means he used, he could not break through the encirclement of the stone bench.
The encirclement of the stone bench slowly shrank, and there was no way, he could only watch himself being shattered, and the feeling of powerlessness came back to his heart, but he could only cover it with a wry smile, and the sadness that had not been settled and rose again and again, if only the senior sister was still there.
Thinking of his senior sister, he couldn't help but glance at the necklace on his chest, how could there be a few drops of hot liquid sliding down his cheeks from the corners of his eyes, and tears fell on the red crescent, the crescent suddenly emitted a halo, the halo wrapped his whole person, and the stone bench that tightly surrounded him slowly retreated, falling in place and no longer making a sound.
The halo dissipated, and the crossbowman looked at the stone bench that had fallen in place, and thought about it, could it be the senior sister, it turned out that the senior sister had been there all along.
Suddenly, the platform shook violently, the clouds and mist receded rapidly, and the stone bench also sank down a little, and the outline of the whole tree trunk was revealed, and a thatched house stood on the leaves of the branches not far from the stone bench, and the branches and leaves on the branches overlapped and staggered to support the small thatched house, and there was a cyan staircase between the stone bench and the thatched house.
The crossbowman was so unstable by the fierce anger that he almost fell into the abyss, he struggled to stabilize his mind, wondering how to climb up, and just as he hesitated to try to climb a step first, the broom that had been carrying him suddenly broke free and flew up, and the broom circled around him twice, and slammed it on his head with one head.
The crossbow man remembered what the old gatekeeper said to him last night, it turned out that this broom wanted to help him open the way, the broom couldn't wait for him to hesitate, and he got into his hand, and a huge force came, and he was dragged and walked up.
The broom opened the way in front, and the anger that came to his face was weakened a lot, but it still cut his clothes, and left blood marks on his face. She gritted her teeth in pain, the impact of the anger made it difficult for him to open his eyes, but he vaguely saw that the broom seemed to be struggling, his hands holding the broom were trembling, and he saw that the speed of movement was getting slower and slower, and there was still a large distance from the thatched house, and the broom shook violently twice, and the broom's head cracked into pieces, followed by the body, and then to the handle he was holding.
A greater violentness poured out from the spring on the broom, and with a great force dragged him swiftly upward, and in the blink of an eye, he was standing on the blade under the thatched house.
Only now did the crossbow man see what broom he was holding in his hand, and it was clearly a strange blood knife full of anger. The blood knife is more than one meter, the knife body is dark red, it is engraved with Taoist runes, there is a "Meng" word on the handle, held in the hand, but it is like a stab in the heart, his face is a little ugly, and then the blood knife seems to feel something, buzzing and trembling a few times, the anger disappears, the knife body is also dull to black, and the words on the handle are also hidden. It's like an ordinary chopping knife.
Seeing the change of the blood knife, the crossbowman was a little curious, and he didn't feel just now when he held the hilt. He lifted the handle of the knife, carefully looked at this rare object transformed from a broom into a knife, the corners of his mouth hooked a smile, and said lightly, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful, I'll give you a name." Hearing the name of the bloody knife seemed a little excited, he broke free from his hand, and scurried around him, as if he was looking forward to it, "What is it called, how about calling it a mighty machete..."
The crossbow man was knocked out of the eyes, and hurriedly covered his head with his hand, shouting in his mouth, "Big brother, big brother and little brother are wrong, you don't call it a mighty machete, you call it a mighty general, call it a thunderbolt invincible blood demon knife, call it a handsome and invincible general..."
Every time the blood knife attacks, the words engraved on the handle of the knife will be revealed, and the crossbowman noticed this, and while resisting the attack with his hand, he said in a low voice, "Big brother, big brother, look at the word 'Ming' on your knife handle, or you can call it Meng." As soon as he finished speaking, the blood knife suddenly hung in the air, as if he was looking at something, as if he was thinking about something.
Seeing this, the crossbow man dared to slightly remove his hands covered on his head, and secretly observed the reaction of the blood knife.
The blood knife stopped in the air for a moment, and as soon as the smoke slipped into the crossbowman's clothes, he didn't react at all. The crossbow man was still afraid, and he was a little annoyed in his heart, but he didn't dare to attack, for fear that this little ancestor would come up with another moth, so he had to pretend to be very happy and muttered, "Big brother, I'm satisfied now, and if you don't react, it proves that you accept this name." He tried it a few times, but it was really fine, and then he relaxed and walked towards the thatched house.
——
In a tree hole on the second floor of Tongtian Oak, a figure opened the chain in the violent shaking just now, his mood was a little complicated, and he did not have the joy of getting out of trouble, but stood in place, beating his chest with his hand and roaring in his mouth, "Why is this happening, why, Master, didn't you say that as long as I am guarding here, Senior Sister will be free, but how did Senior Sister's Origin Qi return here." ”
His heart ached as he looked at the glimmer of light that poured in. The halo slowly gathered into a figure, and the figure looked at the eighth junior brother in front of him who owed too much, and was a little unbearable, so he could only use a pair of virtual slender hands to caress his cheeks, just like the gentleness of a mother.
The figure didn't speak, but the thoughts in his heart had already reached the mind of the eighth junior brother, "Little Eight, senior sister has come to see you, it was senior sister who owes you all these years, now it's my turn to bear it, it should have been me to bear it, but you were too stubborn at the beginning, colluding with the master to lie to me, I know it all, do you think that senior sister will be happy if she is free, in fact... Be nice to the little brother. After all, she didn't want to say any more, and finally wiped the tears on Hachi's face with her hand, her gentle eyes were full of pampering and gratification, and then, she turned around and walked towards the depths of the tree hole.
The eighth junior brother watched the figure gradually disappear in front of him, and thought that he was originally a seed floating in the clouds, because he met his senior sister, and under her careful care, he turned into a human form, and was able to worship under the master's door and embark on the path of cultivation.
Senior sister can be said to be the closest person in the world to him, everything he does is for his senior sister to be happy, since senior sister is not happy, then what is the pain he has experienced.
Seeing that his senior sister was so resolute, he didn't feel too sad when he left, but he was still very relieved, and that kind of heartfelt emotion should be the real happiness he felt when he saw his senior sister for the first time, and his heart was relieved.
He kowtowed heavily to the back of his sister leaving, got up, and disappeared into the hole.
——
Yan Liliang is away from the city in a small Taoist temple, recently came to a lazy Taoist who cheats to eat and drink, I heard that he is still the master of the uncle, every day will go to the outside market to tell the fortune of the people passing by, meet which beautiful daughter-in-law has to take a few more looks, come back in addition to eating and drinking is sleeping, making the Taoist temple smoky, but because of the special identity of the Taoist, no one dares to say anything.
On this day, the Taoist was looking at a fat-covered woman swallowing saliva, and suddenly his heart chuckled, his face showed a touch of bitterness, and his mouth muttered, "This day is here after all, poor little girl, I really don't know if it's worth it for you to do this... Stinky boy is waiting for you to come, see how I clean you up. With that, he took aim at the woman's buttocks.
